That Friday night “Who Shot J. R.”, was the night before my Wedding. We had our rehearsal dinner at our apartment. Everyone wanted to watch Dallas. We took our television upstairs, it was a large room; and everyone watched Who Shot J R, that’s what we ended up calling our party. The date 11/21/1980.
YES..."always" remember her "facial" expressions when talking to JR etc...the lips twitching etc as if she really wanted to "THROTTLE" him........She also played an "alcaholic" etc brilliantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..God she looked "rough" when she "drank"......."Always" remember also that scene when she was in the gutter/off the wagon etc, on the streets....she meets this down/out with a bottle/brown bag etc....i can see her face now as if to say.."God sake give me that bottle etc".....
I always thought, Linda Gray was so classy in Dallas! The other ladies were great too, but she always stood out, especially the stylish way she wore here outfits in the show!!
I recall the very 1st time I ever laid eyes on Dallas and JR.....It was 1978 and our gig was cancelled due to being double booked, so I got home right after 10pm and sat down next to my wife on the couch. It didn't take long for me to ask her, "Who in the heck is that guy?" My wife said "JR Ewing". After about 5 minutes watching, my next question was "What freakin' show is this?" "Dallas", she said without a blink....and the rest is history as I never again booked the band on Friday nights again, and have seen every episode, every movie, every re-boot and spinoff. Just waiting on the next one now.
No Reboot. Loved the original series. Will never be able to recreate that perfection. Let it live in the annals of American classic TV. "Nobody beats the Ewings!!!"
I agree... the cast members have aged gracefully, let it just live in our memories as one of the greatest times in our lives. Whenever I hear that intro music, it brings tears to my eyes, instant bliss. :)
The TNT reboot was excellent, and worked on every level. It remains a mystery how and why they suddenly just cut it right before the cliffhanger. This excellent cast deserved better.
I'm watching the original series right now, and it makes me sad watching Pam with baby Christopher. It's a shame that Pam died so young without Christopher fully realizing how much Pam cared about him. I hate how her character ended.
The re-boot was amazing was hooked....then it finished just like that....its was still Dallas but with the modern feel....Larry and Ken both missed brilliant actors....but those 4 above could do it with the re boot cast bringing in April afton and Donna....it would be a smash...UK fan 🇬🇧
@@johndaugherty7779 It would have been great if Donna Reed could have been her own character on "Dallas." As wonderful a woman and an actress as Donna was, having anyone else play Miss Ellie was just too much of an obstacle to overcome. Howard Keel was a good addition to the show. Great and charming actor. It's very sad that they weren't respected properly.
MultiMrMiles isn't that the truth- I can not think of a new show I even like - my late MOM & I watched every Friday without fail-safe have a great day!
Dallas started when I went away to college but my parents watched it every Friday night. I never got into it for several years but watched it for many episodes and years later. I feel somewhat nostalgic but also forlorn when I see the actors now many years later and aged. It reminds me that I too am not that 22 year old anymore either.
I actually watched it on Rivoto. All except first season. They only had the first EP for whatever reason. Then the 3 movies and the reboot series. Trust me, I am Dallased out now. I doubt I'll ever watch it again.
Dallas was so awesome back in the 80s. All the cast played their bit so well. I couldn't stand JR. Lol All the woman were so rich and beautiful. The men so business orientated. Well acted everyone love you all so much. 😊❤
Oh, I loved Dallas soo much. That was my favorite show of all time. Booby was my favorite. I loved J R. Too. Dallas is the legend of all shows. Its iconic. I could watch it again and again. Come on who doesn't love Dallas? Jr . Kept it real and alive. Dallas is in my Hall Of FAME.
@lana lake you can say the same thing on a lot of movies or tv shows. Supernatural is a good example where the 2 leads really are like brothers in real life because of the show
lake yeah it is nice when you hear stuff like that but if it is a show I love and later on after it's run is over or even during it run it comes out such as tisha Campbell going after Marty Lawrence for sexual harassment during the shows run which as far as I know it didn't hurt the show I'm not gonna stop watching it cause of stupid shit he or she and that's just in general I'm not saying she was asking for it... I just meant in general when it comes to tv shows or movies. Marlon Brando was said to be a huge pain in the ass and for some he was and for others he wasn't. But well you get my point I'm sure
I loved that show!!!! You didn't call me on Friday nights when Dallas was on. Thank god on of my friends from school watched it and I was over at her house most Friday night, these were the days when the VCRs started OR a bit before that.
Much respect to Linda Gray and Charlene Tilton for maintaining a natural look. Victoria Principal and Priscilla Presley went way overboard with their cosmetic surgeries.
Same here my mom and I always watched this when I was a kid my mom is no longer with me either her and I would watch Dallas dynasty and knotts landing but Dallas always no.1 this makes me wish my mom was still here but the memories will last in my heart forever.
You have to wonder how different Dallas would have been if Jim Davis had lived another 5-7 years. His character had so much influence on J.R. and Bobby and the direction of Ewing Oil.
La serie "Dallas" no me la perdía a fines de los 70's , inicios de los 80's . Ojalá repitieran las transmisiones , sus guiones siguen estando vigentes. Saludos desde Guadalajara 😉😉😉
@@faithwatkins7811 sorry, but the newer Dallas was dreadful compared to the original, not even close.... and the newer actors did not have the same charisma as the originals, either. I think they should have let the series die with the original.
@@barbarajanesowak882 it wasn't a remake. It was a continuation of the original. Our generation of Dallas and it wasn't about Jr and Bobby. It was about John Ross and Christopher. It should've been called Dallas the next generation of passing the torch.vi loved it and I think there's talk about bringing it back
Dallas was the best of the best. TNT should have never canceled the reboot. It was fantastic. Miss the show and cast especially Larry Hagman. The man you loved to hate,but I just loved the nasty little scoundrel. RIP and re-reboot before we lose anymore of them. Lee Majors and Linda Gray made a great couple.
Trivia: How many children (AT LEAST) did JR have? I'll give you the answer (that most of you probably already know). 4. John Ross, the baby with Cally, James, & John Ross' sister. I wonder if there were more than 4.
I love Dallas. I would sleep late at nigth waiting for the show to be aired late at nigth here in Philippines. It was in my college days, in the late 70s. I wish, they will make a reply of the show again. Or they can show it at Netflix again. Hopefully . . . Crossing my fingers. .
Larry, Patrick and Linda were extremely close friends for years. Larry Hagman had incredible charisma as an actor. I had a crush on him on I dream of Jeannie. I've seen him in other roles as well, he was great.
Ummm Derek??? I know that. I was responding to another comment that it was someone else that made "Dallas". IMO The majority of people that watched "Dallas" was for Larry Hagman's "JR" character.
I was on a bus about 2003, Denver to Dallas. As we passed the Rockies someone started singing Rocky mountain High. At one point the driver said we'll be in Amarillo by Morning, I said I'm from San Antone. As we saw the Dallas skyline someone started whistling the theme to Dallas. In my family I used to think that my Uncle was like JR, I was like Bobby and my brother was like Gary. Turns out my brother is like Bobby and I'm more like Gary....
Dallas was so big in the U.K, you never called anyone when it was on ! Linda Grey been in the U.K Loads, on T.V's Lovejoy, pantomine & Hollyoaks shot in Liverpool what a fab show. Dave Nottingham U.K
Larry Hagmen, was a Great Actor, Lindy Gray ,was so fine, and Beautiful, and Patrick Duffy, wonderful man . God Bless all of you and your Family. My Favorite show, Dallas, and my America's Team my Dallas Cowboys .💞🙏⭐💖 🖖✊✌💖 With Love. Michael Angelo in Tallahassee Fl.
I miss Larry Hagman so much...I actually cried watching this without him...his passing really hurt and still does when i watch these reunions.... btw...where is cliff barnes...ken kercheval ???
Much as I love this show, they need to let the reboot idea go... They tried it, it could never last without Larry Hagman's epic character JR and so we move on. It's a legendary show which will remain globally iconic. I know residuals don't fully pay the bills, but that achievement should be enough for its stars.
I'm 55 and just started watching it now and the first episode JR was ruthless, Some of that writing was also pretty amazing, But I guess that's Larrys acting, I'm getting a little sad going back to when Life was actually fun.
The last reboot of Dallas was a smash hit until Larry Hagman passed away. Then the ratings gradually went down resulting in it being cancelled after 3 seasons.
Greatest tv series in history. It had everything. Will never be duplicated.
Absolutely. And now you can stream the entire series free on imdb tv (Amazon video)
My husband and I are watching the whole series again on DVD. No other night time soap can stand up to Dallas. It was iconic, best E-V-E-R
Same, except this is my first time watching and I LOVE it. It didn't appeal to me in the 80s, but I was a huge Dynasty fan. lol
This is the best drama show ever. There acting ability is phenomenal! The reboot that only lasted two seasons on TNT was awesome!
Wasn't as good as original

Linda Gray has aged very well, very natural and looks fabulous
She has always looked gorgeous.
Darren T Omg! Linda Gray is always gorgeous! Then and now!

Yes, Madonna could take some cues from her
Yeah I agree, she is a wonderful woman
I always thought, Linda Gray was so classy in Dallas! The other ladies were great too, but she always stood out, especially the stylish way she wore here outfits in the show!!
I have been binging on Dallas during Covid lockdown, sometimes watching 4 to 5 episodes a day. Oh what a show. Can't stop.
I have love for all these ppl. I love this show n just binge watched 14 seasons. Getting ready to watch the reboot
Ray was the biggest sweetheart, One of my favorite characters!
yes!
Miss those days
Linda looks AMAZING after 40 years!!!!

it will be back
Michael Cabe good luck without Larry Hangman!
Dallas is an iconic show that will live forever. Groundbreaking topics. Its one of my favorite shows of all time.
Loved that show
Linda has barely changed ! Incredible
They all look terrific !

Cause Larry Hagman died ... but I wish they would bring it back Duffy said he'd do it again

R.I.P. Larry Hagman, Jim Davis, Barbara Bell Geddes, & Howard Keel
And now Ken Kercheval.
@@rumarspencer7302 - Cliff was one of my favorites
Don't forget Donna Reed. She and Howard were really shit upon by the regular cast.

80s decade...the BEST ever....new times are boring and empty....reallt
MultiMrMiles all we have now is the Kardashian whores
MultiMrMiles isn't that the truth- I can not think of a new show I even like - my late MOM & I watched every Friday without fail-safe have a great day!
Each day your statement becomes more relevant!!!!!!
Lived in Germany for a while and they love this show.
I’ve seen this show in many other languages.
No matter how rich and famous, we all age. I loved these characters. We would make a steak dinner each Friday night and watch it.
It's Friday, Can I come over?
That sounds like you made something nice even better, I miss those days!
They were all very attractive and great actors. How gorgeous and beautiful Victoria and Linda was. I wish I could turn back time. Never forget Dallas!
Does Linda Gray ever age?! I can't believe how fantastic she looks!
She doesn't. She'll be 92 like Barbara Bush was when she died today, & still look hot as he||!!!
SHE IS 77 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She ages only in name ;) get it? Gray, gray as in hair ...... I'll see myself out.
@Mark(open): Now, on the other hand, Charlene Tilton...
She can still put the p in the paulettes!😅🤣😂
The theme song is one of the catchiest themes ever. I had it in my head for days. I love it so much my ringtone is set to dallas
I'm jealous, John. What a great ringtone!
Dallas started when I went away to college but my parents watched it every Friday night. I never got into it for several years but watched it for many episodes and years later. I feel somewhat nostalgic but also forlorn when I see the actors now many years later and aged. It reminds me that I too am not that 22 year old anymore either.
I can't get enough of Dallas I have the box set and I watch it everyday.
Candice Martin What is a box set and how can I get it??
I also have all the Dallas box sets....I'm addicted to watching them....😁😍
I still watch this show today, if anyone is interested in watching this show now you can watch the whole series on Amazon prime.
Actually it's on imdb tv which is the free section of Prime. You don't need an active subscription.
Never saw it on Prime. Maybe that's just USA?
I actually watched it on Rivoto. All except first season. They only had the first EP for whatever reason. Then the 3 movies and the reboot series. Trust me, I am Dallased out now. I doubt I'll ever watch it again.
Dallas was so awesome back in the 80s. All the cast played their bit so well. I couldn't stand JR. Lol
All the woman were so rich and beautiful. The men so business orientated. Well acted everyone love you all so much. 😊❤
Linda Gray looks fabulous ! !!
It must be a combination of good genes & healthy lifestyle.
Wow agree, she looks fabulous
I loved d'allas,,,, wow they look great after all these years
If you weren't around when " Dallas " had it's heyday you missed out, it was truly the " King " of the nighttime soap opera genre..
Oh, I loved Dallas soo much. That was my favorite show of all time. Booby was my favorite. I loved J R. Too. Dallas is the legend of all shows. Its iconic. I could watch it again and again. Come on who doesn't love Dallas? Jr . Kept it real and alive. Dallas is in my Hall Of FAME.
Booby?
I agree Debbie...I can watch Dallas over & over again ...the best TV series ever😍

Much respect to Linda Gray and Charlene Tilton for maintaining a natural look. Victoria Principal and Priscilla Presley went way overboard with their cosmetic surgeries.
The best show put on tv ❤️❤️❤️❤️ jr will always be the man ‼️‼️
You can't have Dallas without Larry. The End
loved this show coming up. me and my mom(r.i.p.)watched it every Friday.
Same here my mom and I always watched this when I was a kid my mom is no longer with me either her and I would watch Dallas dynasty and knotts landing but Dallas always no.1 this makes me wish my mom was still here but the memories will last in my heart forever.
They need to continue the series! ❤
It will be back
There will never be anther Dallas they were the one and only show I loved
Patrick Duffy is so kind.
Linda Gray looks great!
You have to wonder how different Dallas would have been if Jim Davis had lived another 5-7 years. His character had so much influence on J.R. and Bobby and the direction of Ewing Oil.
Clayton Farlow was was meant to be the replacement for Jock. Not quite the same character but the substitute patriarch of the Ewing family.
La serie "Dallas" no me la perdía a fines de los 70's , inicios de los 80's .
Ojalá repitieran las transmisiones , sus guiones siguen estando vigentes.
Saludos desde Guadalajara 😉😉😉
That is such a sweet reunion❤️
I'd love to see a reboot, but the problem is that nobody could play the part of J.R. like Larry Hagman did. That role was tailor-made for him.
it was more than any other role for anybody. Larry was born to play that role
No one needs to John Ross has definitely taken over and Jr has passed the torch over gracefully

Dallas, dynasty and knots landing were my favourite shows! Wish we had reruns of them!
beverley boyce , yes I agree they should be on TV land or some other TV channel. Start from the 1st episode of each.
Love Linda gray lovely lady 👍👍
Angela Shevlin Gray 🤗
I was about to type that to...i totally agree 😊
Its was one of greatest show of all time.
Happy 40th anniversary DALLAS
Absolutely love this show!
Yes Definitely bring back Dallas, Finish off what TNT didn't finish lets see how it folds for the Ewing's
yeah it was really stupid of TNT to cancel it cause we never knew what happened to christopher after that car exploded & John Ross having a sister
i agree 100%, they definitely should have carried on
Trivia: How many children (AT LEAST) did JR have? I'll give you the answer (that most of you probably already know). 4. John Ross, the baby with Cally, James, & John Ross' sister. I wonder if there were more than 4.
The TNT version was ok at best, the interior Southfork set was completely wrong. After Larry Hangman passed I didn't watch S3.
Dallas was my life and 1EWING was my truck tags!
I loved this series. As simple as that.
I love Dallas. I would sleep late at nigth waiting for the show to be aired late at nigth here in Philippines. It was in my college days, in the late 70s. I wish, they will make a reply of the show again. Or they can show it at Netflix again. Hopefully . . . Crossing my fingers. .
when it was on TV in Belgium, the streets were empty! people stayed home to watch it, it was very popular!
When Larry Hagman was dying Linda Gray visited him every day.
Larry, Patrick and Linda were extremely close friends for years. Larry Hagman had incredible charisma as an actor. I had a crush on him on I dream of Jeannie. I've seen him in other roles as well, he was great.
Yeah Linda was near Larry when he passed away
love them- they still look great !
Lucy and Linda Gray still look young.
Dallas was Awesome!
It was Larry Hagman that made "Dallas".
Melissa Gahn Larry Hagman is gone now.
Ummm Derek??? I know that. I was responding to another comment that it was someone else that made "Dallas". IMO The majority of people that watched "Dallas" was for Larry Hagman's "JR" character.
Melissa Gahn you may know that. However, you don't know how to spell my name, despite it clearly being spelled out.
I am not interested or care how you spell your name. I was merely responding to your child like dribble.
Melissa Gahn apparently not. You act more like a child than my 9 year old granddaughter.
My favorite show ever man i loved the 80s
I really liked Linda Gray. Still do.
I was on a bus about 2003, Denver to Dallas. As we passed the Rockies someone started singing Rocky mountain High. At one point the driver said we'll be in Amarillo by Morning, I said I'm from San Antone. As we saw the Dallas skyline someone started whistling the theme to Dallas.

I relate most to Gary, too 🙂
That bus story is awesome!
I am still smitten with Bobby....😊😊😊😊
Happy 60th Birthday Charlene Tilton
That's my show Dallas 40 yrs later

Awww, Dallas royalty! The OG's!
When I was growing up watching this I had such a crush on Ray.. he was such a cute cowboy… 🤠
Dallas was so big in the U.K, you never called anyone when it was on ! Linda Grey been in the U.K Loads, on T.V's Lovejoy, pantomine & Hollyoaks shot in Liverpool what a fab show. Dave Nottingham U.K

Charlene was my favorite. I wish they would have given her a better story.
Loved Dallas brings back my childhood memories.
Will always be a iconic t.v. show. And fams can watch every episode on Firestick.
I wish they would bring Dallas back. Season 3 made it feel like Dallas. I heard season 4 was going to be fun.
Linda grey.....simply the best..
I Love this Movie my Mother did to
The first four seasons of Dallas were awesome, the Red File storyline in series two was gripping.

Cliff Barnes passed away in 2019. Rest in peace dear Cliff Barnes, Digger's son.
brilliant
Mult Respecttt pentru acesti Artisti ai lumii Bravoooo 👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤👍

I still watch this...
I definitely would watch this but with these guys!
Much as I love this show, they need to let the reboot idea go...
They tried it, it could never last without Larry Hagman's epic character JR and so we move on.
It's a legendary show which will remain globally iconic. I know residuals don't fully pay the bills, but that achievement should be enough for its stars.
it still had 4 million viewers without Larry. Get your story straight
I can't agree more.....the newer Dallas sucked.
Patrick. Duffy is neighbors with my Aunt and Uncle from Eagle Point Ore
Charlene Tipton was so nice
The writing wasn't always the best but the casting was really good.
I'm 55 and just started watching it now and the first episode JR was ruthless,
Some of that writing was also pretty amazing, But I guess that's Larrys acting,

wrong, they had 4 million viewers after Larry. TNT executives didnt like the show was the reason
I thought it was a mistake to cancel that show, I liked it a lot.
Hi Good Morning America - "Legendary!" I'm a "Dallas" Fan. I wanna sing on your show. Jonny Weiss "Hello Texas." All original music 🎶
